Almsgiving is described as capturing God's attention because it reflects Jesus' Words to the Pharisees about the greatest commandment.
“Jesus said… ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.’”—Matthew 22:37-40
Almsgiving…
- Captures the attention of the Lord
- Maintains relationships and connections with others
- Has a 1-to-1 return
Give alms, release compassion and love to your neighbor, and receive a blessing as you capture the Lord’s heart!

Give Alms. Release Compassion and Love to Your Neighbor. Receive a Blessing as You Capture the Lord’s Heart!
Almsgiving is an act of worship. It is a display of love for those in need—an act of compassion. When given in prayer, it turns your heart to God and brings you into communion and fellowship with both the Lord and others.
God Invites Us to Give Alms, but in Secret
“But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”—Matthew 6:3-4
You can see in the verse above that the Lord rewards you openly when your almsgiving is done privately.
Almsgiving | Compassion and Love to Your Neighbor
You want to show compassion for those in need. You want to follow the instruction of Yeshua and love the Lord and your neighbor.
The problem is many are unaware that almsgiving was meant specifically for this purpose. It wasn’t meant to replace tithes and other offerings, nor was it meant to be done publicly. When it is, it can cancel the reward.
This is why God asks us to give alms privately—when we see a need and are prompted by the Holy Spirit, and then He rewards us openly!
Love Your Neighbor and Be Rewarded Openly…
- Ask the Lord to direct your giving. Alms is to be given in private and not to replace other giving. It is motivated by a heart of compassion and love.
- Give alms (put a dollar amount in the field above) and pray that God uses it to plant seeds of life into others.
- Watch as God takes your almsgiving and plants seeds of hope!
Don’t hesitate in blessing others. Capture God’s heart. Give alms and release God’s compassion and love in your life today!
